The evidence-based practice movement was founded by Archie Cochrane, a British epidemiologist who argued that care should be empirically supported as effective.
In practice
A 1972 book criticising the profession for not producing rigorous reviews of evidence.

The movement is younger than most of the practices it examines, which is part of why so many were never examined.
